Nandana Dev Sen, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen's daughter, has said that the news of the renowned economist's death is fake. She in a social media post said that Sen is "totally fine" and added he was "busy as ever". She also shared a family photo with the post. 

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, "Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!"
